Helping Others

Happy end of Hump day! I cannot express how ready I am for Friday to be here, work is yucky, hehe. Anyways, I have mentioned about helping others with couponing.

The first opportunity that is absolutely no cost to you and very little effort is I need your expired coupons please! There is a girl scout group in Florida that is organizing coupons up to 2 months old. These coupons are sent to our wonderful soldiers overseas where they can use them on their base. This is much more productive than throwing them away. I will be mailing them off at least once a month at the end, but probably twice if many of you give yours to me. They cannot take internet printed coupons and they cannot take any that have a store logo on them.

If you would rather mail them yourself, send them to:

Girl Scout Troop 4713

c/o Amber Abendschein
220 Goldie Street
Leesburg, FL 34748

Please put coupons to troops on the envelope, or in the envelope






Another opportunity to give back to your community is a program called Change the World with Change. One blog, Saving Addiction, will list the weekly suggestions of things that are relatively cheap to buy. I will post a weekly list of things you can buy. A few dollars a week may not seem like a lot, but it will make quite an impact to someone who doesn't have much. I was talking to my awesome Aunt Michelle ;) tonight, and she said that one nursing home didn't have any toothpaste when she spoke with them.

I will get you a list of places to donate soon, and I am happy to drop anything off for you. With Saving Addiction's permission, here is her list:
